Gift to Self…

I found them on the side of the road in an open market in an Arab village. They are really fragile though. Three got broken before they reached the safety of the table top. My husband stumbled up the stairs and cracked one, and I broke two as I washed them.

They are a good reminder of the beauty and fragility of life here on the cusp of the new beginning of 2010…

"The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day." (Proverbs 4:8 NIV)

About this Blog

I have been blogging here since 2007. Not everyday, but certainly every day that I just felt like my heart would burst if I didn't write. Over the years, I have had a few facelifts and makeovers here on the structure of this happy spot that I call my blog home; but the heart and core of my writing has remained the same. You will find a plethora of subjects from art to politics, devotionals to poetry.

Currently, "Ever-Increasing Light" is highlighting Jewish sabbaths, feasts, and themes in devotional form. Having worked with Jewish people around the world and with Holocaust survivors, I relish sharing biblical foundations about Jewish culture, traditions, and human interest stories.

“Sabbath: A Gift of Time”

The most common question I am asked about Jewish traditions is the Sabbath. "Sabbath: A Gift of Time" is a primer that I have written for those who are interested in a simple history, biblical explanation, and overview of the gift of rest offered through Sabbath observance. There is included a Sabbath liturgy guide for Friday evening meal and Sabbath recipes, including the special braided bread "challah." Available on Amazon and everywhere.
